CPI(M) continued to attack government over demonetisation of currency and urged it to allow old currency notes of 500 and 1000 rupees for public utility for the relief to the people. Addressing media in New Delhi today, party General Secretary Sitaram Yechury said, his party will raise the issue in Parliament.
He claimed that nobody is accepting the new currency of two thousand rupees. Mr. Yechury said the Prime Minister had said that 90 percent black money is stashed abroad and alleged that he is not making the name of such black money hoarders public.
Meanwhile, Congress and TMC leaders are likely to meet in New Delhi this evening to chalk out a strategy for united effort during the Winter Session of Parliament commencing Wednesday against the demonetisation. The Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad, and Congress leader in Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge are likely to meet the TMC leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay before the all-party meeting convened by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan this evening.
Yesterday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had spoken to Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury besides various other opposition leaders.
